•
Do not perform work that will subject
the machine to a horizontal force or
create a swaying motion of the platform.
•
The user should be familiar with the operating
surface. If there is a question related to
the stability of the ground condition, an
appropriate sill should be used to safely
spread the load of the machine and rated load
capacity.
•
Do not elevate the platform on a slope greater
than what can be leveled and kept from
sliding by the outrigger leveling jacks and an
appropriate sill.
•
Do not elevate if there is a safety concern
related to the stability of the bearing surface.
•
Before using the machine on floors, bridges,
and other surfaces, check allowable capacity
of the surfaces.
•
Never exceed the maximum platform capacity. Distribute loads evenly on the
platform floor.
•
Keep the weight-bearing feet of the outriggers a safe distance from holes,
bumps, drop-offs, obstructions, debris, concealed holes, and other potential
hazards at the ground level.
•
Never attempt to use the machine as a crane. Do not tie off the machine to any
adjacent structure.
•
Do not increase the platform size or height with unauthorized extensions,
attachments, or steps, as personnel movement or added height will decrease
stability.
•
If the mast or platform is caught so that one or more of the outrigger
weight-bearing feet are off the ground, the operator must be removed before
attempting to free the machine.
